That weight reflects the size of its car market and the presence of domestic manufacturers strongly committed to electrification.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">By momentum: Poland surprises<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Poland posts the strongest growth on the continent: +160%. A spectacular figure, but one to read with care: the electric market share there reaches only 9%.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That gap illustrates a classic base effect. Starting from a very low level allows high growth rates without the market being mature for all that.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The other major markets:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; Spain: +77%, for 9% of sales<br>&#8211; Italy: +44%, for 6% of volumes<br>&#8211; Belgium and France: +12.5%<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">France and Belgium show the most modest growth in the panel. A relative slowdown explained in part by a level of electrification already more advanced than that of the catching-up markets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why are the gaps between European countries so wide?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pace of electrification varies widely from one country to another. Several factors combine:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; purchase incentive schemes, their level and their stability over time<br>&#8211; taxation, particularly on company cars<br>&#8211; the structure of the national car market, and especially the weight of corporate fleets<br>&#8211; model availability and how well it matches local price brackets<br>&#8211; charging infrastructure and its territorial density<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is therefore no single European electric market, but a juxtaposition of national markets whose trajectories depend largely on public policy choices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What the dominance of the hybrid reveals<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the least commented lesson of the year: at 44% of registrations, the hybrid remains the best-selling powertrain in Europe more than double the electric share.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That pre-eminence reflects cautious buying behaviour. The hybrid reduces fuel consumption without giving up range or depending on charging infrastructure. It works as an intermediate step, more accessible both economically and psychologically.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The decline of diesel, now below 9%, also confirms a deep recomposition of the mix: it is not electric that directly replaces combustion, but the hybrid that absorbs most of the shift.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The European car market is therefore in a two-speed transition: real growth in electric, driven by a growing minority of buyers, and a majority opting for a compromise solution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What this year says about the market ahead<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 17.4% threshold marks a stage, not a tipping point.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three points deserve tracking over time:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1.<\/strong> <strong>The conversion of growth rates into market share.<\/strong> Growth of 160% from a low base says nothing about a market&#8217;s maturity.<br><strong>2. The hybrid\/electric pairing.<\/strong> The moment electric starts taking share from the hybrid, and no longer only from combustion, will be a genuine tipping signal.<br><strong>3.<\/strong> <strong>The stability of public schemes. <\/strong>The most dynamic markets are also the most sensitive to changes in incentive policy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is one of the issues at the heart of the latest study by the Observatoire Cetelem de BNP Paribas Personal Finance, which identifies five levers capable of creating a rebound for the automotive sector.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udc49 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/observatoirecetelem.com\/en\/lobservatoire-cetelem-de-lautomobile\/5-ways-to-bounce-back\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Discover the Auto 2026 study by the Observatoire Cetelem<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key takeaways<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2025, 1.9 million electric cars were registered in Europe, 17.4% of sales and growth of 30% year on year.
